10 Star Wars Flops Disney Have Buried

Though fans are currently living in a prosperous period where it feels as though not a day goes by without The House of Mouse announcing yet another new and highly anticipated big or small screen or even video game project, there's still no escaping the fact that not every Star Wars project has set the world on fire straight out of the gates.

But with Disney taking full control of Lucasfilm in 2012, the mighty pop culture powerhouse has since gone out of its way to forge its own distinct legacy, and in the process quietly shuffle a few of the less desirable or respectable attempts at striking gold under George Lucas' rug.

And while you can still undoubtedly get your hands on the following limp attempts at capitalising on the popularity of the mainline Star Wars stories, be that via video game marketplace or even Disney+, that still doesn't mean that any of these failures will be celebrated or promoted in any way, shape, or form by this galaxy far, far away's current home.

From utterly dire spin-off games, to specials that'll have you cringing into the next inevitable saga, Disney would rather you forget these galactic damp squibs ever existed.

Of the many ways LucasArts attempted to fill out just about every portion of the video game market they could during the days before Disney opted to gently take their hands off the wheel, the sight of the likes of Jar Jar Binks and Darth Maul's gigantic heads roaring around a race track sits pretty high up on the list of most bizarre... and eventually depressingly bad.

From nonsensical concepts, such as Yoda being able to whizz himself around a track from the comfort of his Jedi Council chair, to the blatant Mario Kart-lite execution of the gameplay in general, few fans were ever really onboard with a Super Bombad Racing project that felt like nothing more than a cheap way to squeeze more pennies out of a devoted fanbase.

Though you'd probably still enjoy a few hours of p*ssed up fun with your pals when firing off projectiles as you dart around Tatooine and watching Nute Gunray perform a little jig, it's not hard to see why this PlayStation 2 exclusive - made a reality due to the Dreamcast, Mac OS, and Windows versions being cancelled after the PS2 edition flopped - has long since been discarded from Disney memory.
